Better practices evolve from research and data. My philosophy is that research and data is to be shared in order for better practices to develop. The data shared below can be used, with citation, to continue the study of college disability services and supports in nonstandard learning environments, especially with regards to disabled students who are incarcerated.
If there are questions about the research, are looking for a presenter, or would like to speak about your college's prison education program accessibility, please reach out to me via the contact page on this website. |
